The Supreme Court disagreed with Roe’s assertion of an absolute right to terminate pregnancy in any way and at any time and attempted to balance a woman’s right of privacy with a state’s interest in regulating abortion.
The case began in 1970 when “Jane Roe”-a fictional name used to protect the identity of the plaintiff, Norma McCorvey (1947–2017)-instituted federal action against Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas county, Texas, where Roe resided.

Blackmun, the Court held that a set of Texas statutes criminalizing abortion in most instances violated a woman’s constitutional right of privacy, which it found to be implicit in the liberty guarantee of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (“…nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”). In a majority opinion written by Justice Harry A.
Supreme Court on January 22, 1973, ruled (7–2) that unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional.
